An AWFUL WARNING to Angela and others with complex linkages. As stated many many times before, the GR tree software can't do these. You have to create the person/people twice. Very similar to the fate of Henry King who swallowed little bits of string that tied in knots inside him. Offline tree software such as Family Tree Maker can do it, but you do need to have a clear idea beforehand (it can be undone if you get it wrong). Once you've done it offline you can upload it to GR.
